The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood - Chapter 339

Episode 339. I’m going to retire (2)

Personally, as someone who has regained my status as a wizard, I decided not to use words that are meaningless anymore.

‘uh?’

As soon as I heard what Kang Chang-ho said, this thought came to me.

‘What the hell is that?’

It was a frivolous expression that just came to mind.

‘So. To sum it up, I intentionally called in the [Improvement] owner every time there was a crisis in order to act as a human skill stone. No, really, what does that mean?’

The description of the colored pillar that just appeared probably refers to the EX-class feeding box incident that happened to get caught up in when I was kidnapped by that person.

But I never did anything altruistic inside that dungeon.

Did you choose the blue (trust) option in a row?

That was just to get dungeon clearing points.

‘When I think about it, every moment of my past was a struggle.’

I really don’t want to recall the tragedy that occurred in the last room of that EX-class gate.

Perhaps the naive Ki-sim-che’s legion had a change of heart after getting a taste of Alphauri’s collective egoism.

Clearly, the place was meant to be a mechanism to save the better individual out of the two, but the solution at the end of the box suddenly changed.

But I didn’t know the correct answer, so I followed my old knowledge and failed.

‘oh my god.’

In the past, I gave it my all against mammals, but ended up losing.

That happened in an EX-level dungeon.

But, did that incident where I got hit by a laser and fell down without realizing it get glorified to this extent?

‘I, I was just trying to repay an old grudge in a childish way. Even my actions of calling him number one after blocking the illegal occupancy gate were interpreted as a concession.’

It’s confusing.

First of all, it was clear that the Earthlings had misunderstood something.

But it was nearly impossible to correct the mistakes in the sentences that the human spoke.

‘Let’s see. If I were to correct the facts here, I should start by explaining that I was originally an F-rank hunter and couldn’t take additional actions when I was on the verge of death.’

Secondly, it is necessary to start with deception from the very beginning.

‘Furthermore, as soon as I had my second awakening, I called out to Kang Chang-ho with great energy, thinking of going after him. But I didn’t think about his lungs, so I told him that he had hemoptysis and was hospitalized. How could I possibly say such a stupid thing?’

After quietly trying to figure out the flow on my own.

I finally shut my mouth.

‘Oh my, no matter how I combine the truth, it always leads to an ugly inner self.’

The first year of reincarnation that I’ve been through has been full of nothing but empty boasting from beginning to end.

I can’t possibly reveal with my own mouth such an outburst that is so unbecoming of a great wizard.

‘oh my god.’

To put it simply, he was embarrassed.

So I was left speechless and silent.

At some point, the haggling over the price of the house ended as I fought against the rising shame.

Kang Chang-ho, who saw this, nodded his head as if he understood something—I don’t know what he knows about mammals. Soon, the conversation quietly moved on to the next topic.

“Well, I think this part has been conveyed clearly. Now, shall we get to the main point?”

This time, due to a matter of pride, I was only counting the hospital floor tiles.

The man on the sofa spoke calmly.

“Because it was information that the contractor had specifically asked me to find out. I put in some effort this time.”

“… … .”

“But I already caught all the beasts myself, so who would have thought that after being hospitalized, I would immediately call and ask them to find out who was behind them? Well, this is Hunter Kim’s wish, so I won’t say anything for nothing.”

If we just deal with this matter, today’s conversation will be over.

Kang Chang-ho had a bright expression on his face, showing the dimples on his cheeks, perhaps because he had hopes of being able to break free soon.

“Don’t worry, I won’t care what Hunter Kim does with this information.”

Now that I think about it, I just had a thought. What form did that person take in the information he asked me to give him?

‘hmm.’

For reference.

As you can see from the stories going on now, I have asked the other person for something.

It was a task assigned to me before I came into contact with the corpses of the fake beasts.

Enzo Ciano and 2 others.

However, we somehow managed to find out the identities of those illegal immigrants.

At this point, they still didn’t know how they discovered the existence of the monster called [Sunflower], nor how they predicted the dungeon that appeared in Korea.

So I was going to find out who had ‘fortune-telling’ the Bone Mask group.

And during this process, I decided to use the S-class hunter named Kang Chang-ho to do a cross-check.

This person is a former great wizard who possesses advanced techniques to steal other people’s memories, but doesn’t Earth have something that is comparable to such sorcery?

‘Electronic character set.’

If some group only exchanged requests online.

To be honest, even for a great wizard, it can be difficult to accurately grasp the situation.

Moreover, the results of the actual memory search were as feared.

‘I found a suspicious person in Enzo’s memory, who seemed to be the highest ranking among the three. Unfortunately, since he is not an awakened person, it is difficult to track his coordinates in a magical way. I don’t even know how to search for him since I only know his face.’

thus.

I just folded my arms and remained silent, waiting for the information the other person would give me.

-Rust.

Then, the other person immediately began to take action.

I took out a bundle of documents from the bag that I had left on the floor.

Documents. Now comes the appearance of paper.

“Wait a minute, but is this really the information you asked me to find out?”

“Unhacked. Readable. Well, that can’t be bad.”

A moment of disappointment passes through me as old-fashioned material pops out.

But I guess the information contained within it wasn’t all that flimsy.

The mammal in front displayed unusual confidence as it patted the wad of paper.

“Anyway, as Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo said, I have dug up in detail what kind of line Enzo Ciano was usually on. I can say for sure that there are only a few people in the world who can do this. It would be a much better option than getting paid.”

“Can we trust this information?”

“Are you suspicious because you came so quickly? But it was quick because I’ve been noticing something like that.”

“hmm.”

“Besides, there are so many tools these days to help you uncover the truth. You don’t have to worry.”

“Like Justitia?”

“Now that I think about it, that item was probably one of the few legal means available, which is why it was so expensive.”

That was the end of it.

That character brings information from the perspective of the planet’s natives.

I will make good use of the documents I obtained through my wish.

This was the main point of the promise, so there is no more small talk to share.

“Is that okay? I’ve taken care of the compensation and the Beast information you wanted to ask for. Is the calculation complete now?”

Sigh.

The other person immediately got up from the sofa.

Kang Chang-ho woke up, approached the hospital bed, and handed over the data he had collected.

If it’s speech, then it’s speech.

If it’s movement, it’s movement.

He was literally oozing fatigue from every part of his body.

“Okay, then I think everything is settled. I’ll tell you straight, from now on, you really shouldn’t call me on my number. Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo.”

At first glance, it seemed like I had lost my mind.

A person who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and was an S-class awakened person suddenly started providing labor unilaterally.

Of course, he probably wasn’t happy with the process of this work.

“The past year has been unusual. Starting tomorrow, I plan on not only leaving the country, but also not showing my face outside at all.”

That was when.

When the other person made a remark that went beyond seclusion and almost seemed to disappear, I became momentarily interested.

“Are you really going to stay that way? Why bother?”

“If I leave my nice house and go out, will I only suffer more? Thanks to our Kim Hunter, I finally realized how precious my boring daily life is. From now on, don’t worry about me causing trouble.”

Certainly, if it were a mansion with a swimming pool, I think even I would want to live there.

“I won’t be doing any activities for the time being.”

“How many days have you been like that?”

“If circumstances permit, about eight years.”

“hmm?”

“joke.”

I glanced at the Earthling who said I was joking.

But in reality, in this situation, the plan that Kang Chang-ho spoke of was not important.

‘It seems like that guy already thought he had run out of wish tickets.’

Common sense would dictate that the Archmage would not easily overlook the being who had persecuted him for an entire year.

“But there is something.”

I started the sentence with a negative adverb.

And first of all, we used a logical approach.

“You’re mistaken. If there’s a recording of the phone call we had earlier, would you like to listen to it again?”

“huh?”

“My real wish was to help out with the Beast that had appeared in Korea. The data research was a bonus that came with that request. But where were you, Hunter Kang Chang-ho, when Beast appeared?”

“… … .”

“You weren’t there, right? Then, instead of just giving me the documents, you should also come with me and help me with the work I’m going to do, so that the calculation can be completed. If we look at it accurately and logically.”

In the facial information I saw, and also in this document that Kang Chang-ho brought.

Enzo Ciano’s boss is obviously a foreigner. If I, an alien, were to go abroad alone, I wouldn’t be able to do my job properly.

So I decided to use Kang Chang-ho’s labor to clean up the fake Beast incident.

When doing something this big, it’s not a bad thing to have a lot of hands.

Porter.

Driver.

Or maybe just a hot-tempered criminal who helps you illegally enter the country, etc.

If you think about it, Kang Chang-ho is a talent who can be active in a variety of fields, more than you might think.

“I just clearly said that I want to stay only in Korea from now on.”

“yes.”

“I think I said that about 5 seconds ago.”

“I heard you well.”

Oh, right.

Now that I think about it, I have my strength back and I can talk to anyone.

but.

‘If a person suddenly changes too much, it’ll cause unnecessary problems. Above all, just because you speak politely doesn’t mean you can’t attack others, so let’s maintain that tone of speech.’

I thought for a moment and then continued.

“But is Hunter Kang Chang-ho’s opinion important? Or is it the part where I, who was beaten up despite being innocent, ask you a favor that is important?”

It was okay because the face value was similar to Jeong Ha-seong’s, but I chose the honorific because I didn’t think this society would tolerate such rudeness towards a 32-year-old.

“At the time when my neck was stabbed, I was sick and had no energy, so I just let it go. But now that I think about it, it seems like they just roughly broke the contract and didn’t give me a proper apology. Even when I tried to compensate them with money, they kept trying to brush it off… … .”

By the way, as my magical power increased, did my mind become more relaxed?

Now, the anger I felt in the past has been greatly diluted.

When I see Kang Chang-ho, I feel at most annoyance towards bugs.

But, on the other hand, now that I had the power, I no longer had to hide that little discomfort.

“Excuse me, do you know how to kneel?”

I blurted out the sentences that came to my mind without censoring them.

“ah.”

But what if you come out like that with just this one word?

“Of course. Now I know what you’re talking about.”

It was the moment when he started a fight with the intention of letting go of all the resentment he had accumulated over time.

Kang Chang-ho immediately took action.

‘what.’

Tub.

He looked for an empty space in the hospital room and soon knelt down in a suitable location.

‘What, something… something… is wrong? Something isn’t right. It’s a little different from what I was hoping for.’

Maybe it’s the angle of the bridge that’s the problem. Or maybe it’s the expression on the face of the Earthling.

The Awakened One, who was sitting comfortably in his seat with his legs apart, said:

“I’m so sorry for misunderstanding you before.”

Now, the grindstone that could be used to describe the absurd has run out.

“… I thought that the doctor had expressed it through the choices I’ve made so far. Who would have thought that he would want to hear it in person?”

If you tell me to kneel, then kneel.

If you tell me to apologize, then apologize.

Honestly, the person who did wrong couldn’t have acted better than me. But I still felt bad.

Besides, if he’s the kind of guy who can apologize so easily, why has he been so overbearing up until now?

It was around the time when I was having such concerns, Kang Chang-ho said.

“But even if this situation actually arises, don’t you feel like something is wrong?”

“… … .”

“Actually, that’s because I’m not truly apologizing.”

“What?”

“I’m only acting like this now because I’m sure you have nothing to do with the gate.”

“… … .”

“If I didn’t know the truth, I would have done the same thing over and over again. You were the one who left the clues that made me suspicious.”

He’s looking straight into my eyes.

“I don’t have Justitia, but I’ll just be honest with you. I have no regrets about capturing you and hurting you, and the only mistake I consider to have made was sacrificing someone like you for my [desire for improvement].”

“… … .”

“And this thought won’t change even if an S-class growth awakened person who has become sensitive due to a long illness beats someone to death on the spot in a fit of anger.”

Kang Chang-ho added a few more words here.

“It’s unfortunate, but that’s just my personality. And sincerity is something that can’t be bought with money.”

These were shocking opinions.

“In addition, there is one more thing in the world that cannot be easily traded. That is time. I hope we don’t hold on to the past too much.”

Of course, there were many parts in the Earthling’s sentences that were understandable.

It pisses me off that he doesn’t dare to show any deep regret even after seeing the Hunter he had tormented return to SS rank.

So, for a moment, I thought, ‘Should I just go ahead and do the execution in a fit of anger?’

Kang Chang-ho was like a thorn in the side of the Republic of Korea, and soon it became very ambiguous.
